Bath chip & crack repair in Mortonhall, Edinburgh
Bath repair in and around Mortonhall: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we handle bath repair in Mortonhall
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need bath repair in Mortonhall
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Mortonhall: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Mortonhall?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mortonhall
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mortonhall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Mortonhall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
